The Body in the Transept (Jeanne Dams)

A pleasant murder mystery in the cozy style. An American widow, recently moved to a small English town, is the first to find the body of the canon in the local cathedral, and dives into solving the mystery of his murder. The canon was universally disliked, which makes for a fine range of suspects, and her persistence in asking questions makes her a target as well. The story is lightweight and ultimately unconvincing; I never felt the sense of danger that such a story really needs. I also didn't feel that all the clues were there for me to have figured out the murderer when she did, though she had basically ruled everyone else out. Not bad, but not good enough for me to want to read more in the series.
